Tarneit

"Tarneit - really is the luck of the draw, try before you buy!"

We moved from Tarneit last week after five years of living on Reflections. Initially it was not too bad but then some owner occupiers moved out and bogan renters moved in and it became a different story. The community spirit was soon gone and replaced with open drug dealing (police don't care) mini motorbikes, remote controlled cars amongst some of the regular nuisances endured. It is a LOW socioeconomic area, which will attract people looking for a cheap rental with little in the way of common respect for other people. Wyndham council admitted to me they are short staffed and cannot stop the idiots who insist on parking across nature strips, not looking after nature strips and making the neighbourhoods look quite third world. On the two occasions I called the police to report domestic violence (get used to it if you move to Tarneit, there is a lot of it) I was almost laughed at, despite this being a topic very prominent in the media. I have friends on Rose Grange who absolutely hate it there, same thing renters, unfortunately as long as their neighbour insists on hanging washing on the weeds in the front garden they know it's useless to try and sell. Try and get on the Vline after 7am, it's a joke. Try and get to the CBD in peak hour, hardly 30 minutes!!! Do yourself a favour and avoid this area like the plague. However if you have a thick skin, don't care about the effects on your family and don't mind all the above then go for it. A future slum in the making, it will be the Broadmeadows of the west before long. Getting out of there has been an extreme relief.

Are those bad things commonly seen around the Tarneit train station areas, such as corner of Leakes Road and Derrimut Road?... I am planning to visit and live there for a while.

Maybe you lived in a really bad neighbourhood, which part of Tarneit was that?
